Gorodeya form and stats
A. Arkhipov was the last player to score a league goal for Gorodeya and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Gorodeya haven't scored in 199 minutes.
In their previous game, the manager O. Raduszko led his Gorodeya to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Vitebsk. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Heartbreak before that as Gorodeya lost 0-1 at Shakhtyor's place.
